Survey on the Design and Planning of Cable Harness Assemblies in Electromechanical Products

Abstract

Cable harnesses are essential assembly components that provide the electrical
interconnectivity between different modules within a electromechanical product. The design and
planning of cable harness assembly is a very complicated, time-consuming and key problem.
Currently the design and manufacture of cable harness assembly have remained a labor intensive
process. In this paper firstly the published academic in the design and planning of cable harness is
reviewed. Then on the basis of analysis, its development orientations are proposed including CAD
technologies, artificial intelligence, virtual reality and three-dimensional visual assembly.
